GPA to Percentage Conversion Table (4.0 Scale)
Every GPA from 4.0 down to 2.0, one step at a time, with its letter grade and percentage. Numbers that fall between two letter grades are worked out for you and marked as a close guess — your school may place them a little differently.
| GPA | Letter grade | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| 4.0 | A | 93–100% |
| 3.9 | A− | 90–92% |
| 3.8 | A− | 90–92% |
| 3.7 | A− | 90–92% |
| 3.6 | B+ / A− | ≈ 89–91% (estimate) |
| 3.5 | B+ / A− | ≈ 89–91% (estimate, ≈ 89%) |
| 3.4 | B+ / A− | ≈ 88–90% (estimate) |
| 3.3 | B+ | 87–89% |
| 3.2 | B / B+ | ≈ 86–88% (estimate) |
| 3.1 | B / B+ | ≈ 84–87% (estimate) |
| 3.0 | B | 83–86% |
| 2.9 | B− / B | ≈ 82–85% (estimate) |
| 2.8 | B− / B | ≈ 81–83% (estimate) |
| 2.7 | B− | 80–82% |
| 2.6 | C+ / B− | ≈ 79–81% (estimate) |
| 2.5 | C+ / B− | ≈ 79–81% (estimate) |
| 2.4 | C+ / B− | ≈ 78–80% (estimate) |
| 2.3 | C+ | 77–79% |
| 2.2 | C / C+ | ≈ 76–78% (estimate) |
| 2.1 | C / C+ | ≈ 74–77% (estimate) |
| 2.0 | C | 73–76% |
Below 2.0 the scale continues: 1.7 is a C− (70–72%), 1.3 a D+ (67–69%), 1.0 a D (65–66%), and anything under 65% is an F (0.0). A common shortcut — GPA ÷ 4 × 100 — gives a rougher figure (it turns a 3.0 into 75%) and does not match how letter bands actually work, which is why this page converts through the bands instead.
GPA to Percentage in Other Countries
The table above is the US system. Other countries grade differently, so a straight conversion from them is always an approximation — here is what changes in each system.
Canada
Canadian universities work in percentages first and convert to GPA on their own published scales — and those scales genuinely differ between institutions. A common pattern looks like this:
| Percentage | Letter | GPA |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100% | A+ | 4.0 |
| 85–89% | A | 3.9–4.0 |
| 80–84% | A− / B+ | 3.7 |
| 70–79% | B range | 2.7–3.3 |
| 60–69% | C range | 1.7–2.3 |
| 50–59% | D range | 0.7–1.3 |
Note on OMSAS: the Ontario medical school application service does not use one national scale — it converts each university's grades with a separate table per institution, so the same 85% can come out as a different GPA depending on where you studied. Use our Canada GPA Calculator for Canadian scales.
United States
The US is where the 4.0 scale comes from, and the band table on this page is the standard version used by most high schools and colleges: A = 93–100%, A− = 90–92%, B+ = 87–89%, B = 83–86%, and so on down to F below 65%.
Even inside the US there is no single law: some schools count 90% and up as an A worth 4.0, others use plus/minus grades, and weighted GPAs for honours and AP classes can run to 5.0. If you are working out what a final exam does to your average, try the Final Grade Calculator; for honours and AP weighting, see the Weighted GPA Calculator.
United Kingdom
UK universities do not use GPA at all. Degrees are awarded in classes, based on percentage marks that look low by US standards because UK marking rarely goes above 80:
| Degree class | Percentage | Rough US GPA |
|---|---|---|
| First Class (1st) | 70%+ | ≈ 3.7–4.0 |
| Upper Second (2:1) | 60–69% | ≈ 3.0–3.6 |
| Lower Second (2:2) | 50–59% | ≈ 2.3–2.9 |
| Third Class | 40–49% | ≈ 1.7–2.2 |
| Fail | Below 40% | Below 1.7 |
Those GPA equivalents are only a guide — US admissions offices read a 2:1 as a strong degree in its own right rather than converting it mechanically. See the UK Grade Calculator for degree classification help.
Australia
Australian universities mostly grade on a 7-point scale, not 4.0: High Distinction is 7, Distinction 6, Credit 5, Pass 4, and a Fail is 1–3 depending on the university. The percentage bands behind those grades are roughly:
| Grade | Percentage | 7-point GPA |
|---|---|---|
| High Distinction | 85–100% | 7 |
| Distinction | 75–84% | 6 |
| Credit | 65–74% | 5 |
| Pass | 50–64% | 4 |
| Fail | Below 50% | 0–3 |
A rough US-4.0 equivalent of an Australian 7-point GPA is to divide by 7 and multiply by 4 — a 6.0 becomes about 3.4 — but admissions conversions vary by institution. Use the Australia GPA Calculator for the 7-point scale itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3.5 GPA in percentage?
A 3.5 GPA sits between B+ (3.3, 87–89%) and A− (3.7, 90–92%), so the standard estimate is about 89%. Some schools place a 3.5 at 88–90% — treat it as a strong B+/A− result, and check your school's own scale for an official figure.
How do I convert percentage to GPA?
Find your percentage in the conversion table: 90–92% is an A− (3.7), 87–89% a B+ (3.3), 83–86% a B (3.0), and so on down the 4.0 scale. Or type your percentage into the converter above and it will show your GPA and letter grade instantly.
Is a 3.0 GPA 75% or 85%?
On the standard US scale, a 3.0 is a B, which is 83–86% — so about 85%, not 75%. The 75% figure comes from the rough shortcut of dividing the GPA by 4 and multiplying by 100 (3.0 ÷ 4 × 100 = 75), which ignores how letter-grade bands actually work.
Does Canada convert GPA the same way?
Not exactly. Canadian universities each publish their own percentage-to-GPA scale, and they differ — an 85% can be worth a 3.9 at one university and a 3.7 at another. OMSAS, which handles Ontario medical school applications, converts grades using a different scale for each university.
Is this conversion official?
No. There is no single official GPA-to-percentage conversion — every school, university and admissions body sets its own scale. This converter uses the widely used US band table and gives estimates; always confirm with your institution's official scale for applications or transcripts.
What is a 4.0 GPA in percentage?
A 4.0 GPA is an A, which covers 93–100% on the standard US scale. Most schools award a 4.0 for percentages of 93% and above, though some use 90% or 95% as the cutoff.
